The era of the slow modem Internet passed long ago, but the problem of insufficient throughput of the channel is still relevant. Actual connection speed often appears significantly below that which is specified in the contract with provider.
Instruction
1. Establish connection to the Internet. If you use wireless connection, trace that the signal level was maximum. Your device should be in the same room, as wireless access point. Between a signal source and the receiver there should not be foreign objects, but do not shift them closely - it will worsen signal quality. All these preparations are necessary since in the conditions of a strong radio-frequency zashumlennost, low permeable barriers (walls, interfloor overlappings, furniture, etc.) the quality of a radio signal considerably worsens.
2. Scan the computer the antivirus software. At the same time it is better to use the "one-time" anti-virus DrWeb CureIt utility free for house use. Download the utility from the website and immediately start it. Wait for the end of express check. It is desirable to start full check after its termination. Anti-virus scanning is necessary since the computer can be infected with malicious software by means of which malefactors use computer resources including the channel of access to the Internet. It can lead to decrease in the measured connection speed, and unreasonable claims to provider.
3. Disconnect everything the clients of P2P networks installed on the computer. It can be uTorrent, eMule, MediaGet, StrongDC ++ and others. Also do not forget to switch off programs for downloading files through FTP, such as Download Manager. Close an e-mail client and all messengers. Make sure that the computer downloads nothing from servers of a local area network. Close all expanded folders and all tabs in the browser.
4. Come not the website speedtest.net. Select the next hub site, and start testing. At first the ping - time for which the package from the computer reaches a test server will be checked. If the ping more than 100 milliseconds, it can be the cause of "logs" and "snubbings" in on-line games. If a ping more than a second, normal use of the Internet is almost impossible.
5. Further the measurement of speed of receiving will be carried out. This that speed with which files are loaded from a test server. The value should match the stated provider. At the end the test of transfer rate will be carried out. This value in the contract is not regulated, but it is desirable that it was not less than one megabit. If values low, try to repeat the test with other test servers.
